Will they grow in the GH?

I've cleared out my main gh, removed the old pallet floor (because it was rotting :roll: ) and installed flagstones and raised beds in there.

I've also put bubble wrap in the gh to hopefully ward off any frost.

Because I've created these beds I wanted to get started 'cos I'm just too impatient so I've sown one with a green manure and some lettuce, radish and beetroot in the other. The end sowing dates were all September.

My question is; will any of them come to anything or is it really too late?

Your lettuce might and so may your green manure ( which one ? ) and the radish and possibly the beet too

whether they make it through the winter is another question. Good Luck

Would they be ok if the GH was heated slightly to keep off the frost??

there's specific varieties for Autumn/Winter sowing these would do better than just a normal spring/summer variety, but going back to your question, I imagine they would survive in a frost free greenhouse but not sure what kind of crop you'll get low temps and low light levels, short days etc
